"Even though the Minnesota Vikings scored two touchdowns in the final eight minutes of the first international game of the season, the Pittsburgh Steelers managed to fend off a potential game-tying drive for a 24-21 win. With that victory, Pittsburgh moved into sole possession of first place in the AFC North. Minnesota had a chance to tie this game with 1:01 left in the fourth quarter. However, quarterback Carson Wentz threw an incompletion on a 4th and 17 to give the Steelers the win."
"The Vikings lost this game because of self-inflicted mistakes. Minnesota was flagged eight times for 82 yards. The Vikes also allowed seven sacks and turned the ball over twice. After forcing a three-and-out on the first drive of the game, the Vikings' offense avoided a crucial mistake. A fumble by Minnesota running back Jordan Mason was picked up and returned for a touchdown. However, Mason was seen touching the ball while on the ground and out of bounds, negating the fumble."
Pittsburgh edged Minnesota 24-21 as the Vikings scored two late touchdowns but failed on a 4th-and-17 with 1:01 remaining. Carson Wentz's incompletion ended the game for Minnesota. The Vikings committed eight penalties for 82 yards, allowed seven sacks, and turned the ball over twice, contributing to the loss. An apparent early fumble by Jordan Mason was nullified when he was seen touching the ball out of bounds, allowing Minnesota to retain possession and kick a field goal. Aaron Rodgers completed several early passes and Pittsburgh capitalized with a Kenneth Gainwell touchdown and an 80-yard DK Metcalf score.
